Compiz Fusion - Unbuntu, Lunix or Beryl?

Kornowski · 12-07-2007, 07:56 PM

Well, I used the updater thing and got all of the Compiz and it's settings manager, how-ever, I turn things on and nothing happens, I even restart and still nothing, is it my video card drivers?

It's an SiS 630

Anybody?

Looks like I'm not going to get it working then, no?

When you say nothing do you mean a blank screen or no effects?

If this is the same laptop as the first thread I dont think Compiz will run on it at all. Hence the no effects. But if you have a blank screen that is another problem.

No effects

I've got all the options and stuff, but they just don't work... Ahhh, I was hoping it would work

probably that video card is not "so-so" enough to run compiz, cause i once installed beryl on a dell optiplex GXa (yeah those old scrap) i manage to change themes but the effects didn't work and when i executed it the screen went dark and logged me out.
so probably it won't work on your right ?

Did you go to System>>Administration>>Restricted Drivers Manager and see if there is a driver for your video card?

tlarkin · 12-10-2007, 05:03 AM

I have a HP nc4200 with integrated intel 960 video chipset, and I ran compiz/beryl on it. Most likely the problem is the driver, not the video card.

Thanks for the replys guys!

I don't think I have the driver no, I don't even know where I get it either
